'Maryam's jail cell infested with bugs, mosquitoes'

Family physician of Sharif family Dr Adnan Khan on Friday said that Kot Lakhpat jail authorities had not provided adequate jail facilities to the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz who is in Jail in Chaudhry Sugar Mills case.

In a statement to media, Dr Adnan Khan expressed his outrage that, despite court orders, jail authorities had failed to provide Maryam Nawaz with better jail conditions. Dr Adnan Khan met Maryam Nawaz at Lahore's Kot Lakhpat Jail and was appalled to see the small room in which Maryam was incarcerated.

According to Dr Adnan, the jail cell lacked basic facilities and was infested with bed bugs and mosquitoes. Maryam Nawaz is also not allowed to get home-made food in her cell. Dr Khan noted that, as per court orders, Maryam was entitled to better jail facilities, and urged authorities concerned to provide these to Maryam on immediate basis.
